Kaburi, Exuberant Explorer

I think tomorrow is gonna be a slow cooker and blanket fort day.

Dog will not stop licking my toes and I may go insane.

It's a neutral on neutral but the light brown and beige have this white speckling that's an actual raised texture, not just a color.

The amount of my morning that was spent at my desk hugging plushie Loot while job searching...

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Tortilla Chips fuck.

I feel this in my bones

Needed to get out of the house so I went on an adventure to find the local Trader Joe's. Turns out it's the next intersection down from my dentist.

Also I bought entirely too many veggie samosas for low-impact lunches.

okay, I have this exact pattern with different colors in my basement bathroom

TIL the Framingham library has a program called "Book Buddies: Reading to Dogs" where kids can sign up to read aloud to a volunteer dog so they can practice their reading.

My heart is melted.

I think the hardest part of getting laid off is the loneliness. Work was my main form of human interaction.

Look, I got all the sexy vampires I need from the Astarion Secret Lair.

Deep in the bad brain stuff tonight y'all.

First round of adding the flame effect to his eye holes.

In between coats I'm doing detail work on this undead knight.

Current painting project is these cultists. So far I just have the background blocked in, I haven't started any of the detail work yet.

Theoretically there are two shades of brown, one on the jacket and another on the hood and pants, but they dried much closer than I expected.

Well that's enough jobdoomscrolling for one day, time to lock myself in the basement and paint some minis.

(If you like this content, you can thank my former employer for laying me off. When you leave a scientist to their own devices in an unstructured limbo for more than four days, they get weird fast.)

King of Queens? November 2028
Young Sheldon? That was actually released December 2019, but only to WotC employees as part of the Heroes of the Multiverse series. You might be able to find one on eBay but it's gonna cost you.

This also lets us predict some other drops, including that SL X Friends: The One with the Gathering should drop in June 2030.

...we can calculate when even less culturally relevant SL sets will drop.

For example, Seinfeld ended in May 1998, so we can expect SL X Seinfeld: A Set About Nothing to drop August 2033.

It's kind of neat to realize we live in the Star Trek Mirror Universe.

I talk to my computer all the time. Usually either "fuck you" or "why are you like this".

The Office had it's final episode May 2013. The Secret Lair X The Office dropped October 2025.

That's 12 years, 5 months.

Secret Lair X The Walking Dead dropped October 2020. The Walking Dead ended November 2022.

That's -2 years, 1 month.

If we fit a linear curve to the finale vs drop dates...

Holding out for Secret Lair: Gilligan's Island X Ixalan

Plus, The Office hasn't been culturally relevant for like a decade at this point.

I also did a Hoth diorama because the advent calendars love Hoth

brb working on fanfic about Jaar Jaar Binks, the clone of Jar Jar created as part of the Imperial Remnant's research into cloning Palpatine.

Technically it's a random gungan warrior, he came in the advent calendar a couple of years ago, but it was too funny not to stick him in there as JarJar

Oh god no
